A Simple Alteration

Hello stitchers! I've got an easy task today, one that I've been meaning to do for a long time. I wanted to alter my tunic's sleeves and give them buttons. Why? Because they had that annoying modern clothes trait of being so narrow at the wrist, I couldn't pull my sleeves up more than a few inches. That's annoying af when you are washing your hands, or the dishes, or anything messy. And I have narrow wrists, so these sleeves probably wouldn't even fit a lot of people, and my tunic was sold as "one size fits most." In the torso? Sure. In the wrists, strangely no.

So I snipped the sleeves until I could pull them up above my elbows:

And then I stitched around the edges to prevent any unraveling. Added buttons on one side, and cut button holes on the other. Stitched around those, et voila!

Got it done while watching YouTube videos. 😄

Hope y'all are having a lovely day, and thank you for reading!
